  3. PATRON Echo Alpha asked why some center controllers won’t vector to final and some will provide the service.
  4. PATRON Alpha Tango asked about ADS-B checks and what the controllers need to do in order to accomplish the task.

 

Question of the Week/Month When a vector to final looks inadequate, do you adjust without telling the controller?  Is that allowed?  Let us know by clicking here.
